Imphal, October 15:
A Cabinet meeting held this afternoon with Chief Minister in the chair has agreed to upgrade Phaibung and Willong SDC circles of Senapati district to block levels.
With the approval of the Union Govt, the Cabinet meeting also decided to take up recruitment drive very soon for establishment of 7th IRB Battalion as a separate Battalion of commandos.
According to a senior Minister of the SPF Govt, in consonance to the Cabinet decision to upgrade Phaibung and Willong SDC circles to block levels, the State Govt will seek approval of the Delimitation Commission to this effect shortly.
Besides resolving to set up 7th IRB as a separate Battalion of commandos, the Cabinet sitting also agreed to recruit more manpower to some extra posts of Manipur Police.
With a view to enable the State Vigilance Department function more effectively, the Cabinet meeting further decided to recruit competent DSP, AE and more Constables in the State Police Department.
The absence of qualified officers in the State Police Department has long been felt and the decision of the Govt will go a long way in addressing this issue.
